Pretending AI data centers aren't going to be another tool of environmental racism either demonstrates a profound ignorance or a profound callousness.

I don’t want to be too sensationalist about this but also I’m the least violent person in the world and I think if someone said this to my face I’d hit them
Dr. Jeroen W.P. Wijnendaele@drdragases.bsky.social · last wk.No longer content with pillaging intellectual work and dismembering our environment (already critically weakened), AI companies are now hellbent on destroying books galore including rare editions. Shut down these nefarious enterprises already.
I 100% have not changed a single goddamn thing about how I write here in the age of "AI." I write how I write. If the "AI" writes anything like how I write, it's because it stole from me. I'm gonna use any punctuation I like, and if it looks "AI"ish to you, you can go fuck yourself.
Manisha Krishnan@manishakrishnan.bsky.social · last wk.Authors and journalists are doing more first-person (hello 2010s blogging) and embracing "mistakes" in writing to prove they're not chatbots. There's even an “anti-Grammarly" app that leaves in typos and signs off "sent from my iPhone" to create more authenticity: www.wired.com/story/more-t...

Sean Marshall@seanyyz.bsky.social · 3w agoWhy I’m a fan of the Oxford comma.
The reason why Lindsey Graham is "dead" and Mitch McConnell is "alive" is because South Carolina has a Republican Governor and Kentucky has a Democratic one.
Imagine working for a Democratic Senator because you see yourself fighting a rear-gaurd against the collapse of American liberal democracy and then your boss wakes you up on a Sunday morning saying "I'm gonna need you to come in and draft some tweets about how sad I am that Lindsey Graham died."
The heel turn you’re about to see from the right after a week of justifying the *murder* of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo to condemning people in the left for even talking about Lindsey Graham…
I think in our grief it’s important to remember that Lindsay Graham lived long enough to see the Iran War he and John McCain dreamed of for decades finally happen, and to see it utterly shit the bed.

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

There's a surprisingly effective Republican playbook that's hard to unsee once you see it: 1) Enshittify a government service. Add red tape, means-testing, etc. to make it slower, costlier, more annoying for participants. 2) Use its shittiness to justify gutting or privatizing the service.

It's been kind of hair pulling seeing clips of Republicans saying heinous bullshit and people replying "This will be in all the campaign ads for the democrats!" Because no it won't. The democrats don't want to win. At least, not in any way that would harm Israel or large business interests.
no American president deserves the Nobel Peace Prize
It's rad as hell that there hasn't been a deal reached, the U.S. and Iran are still lobbing missiles at each other, and that Axios and other corporate media outlets just continue shoveling this dumb, obviously untrue bullshit out there to serve the purpose of manipulating the market.
George Pearkes@peark.es · 2mo agoAxios: US/Iran deal reached.

(Axios)
U.S. and Iranian negotiators have reached an agreement on a 60-day memorandum of understanding to extend the ceasefire and launch negotiations on Iran's nuclear program, but President Trump has yet to give it his final approval, two U.S. officials tell Axios.
Why it matters: The signing of the MOU would be the most significant diplomatic breakthrough since the war started, but a final agreement that tackles Trump's nuclear demands would still require further intensive negotiations.
Behind the scenes: U.S. officials said the deal terms were mostly agreed as of Tuesday, but both sides still needed to get approval from senior leadership.
• The U.S. officials claimed the Iranians later came back and said they had the necessary approvals and were prepared to sign. Iran has not confirmed that.
• The U.S. negotiators briefed Trump on the details of the final deal and he asked to take a few days to think about it.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:pnx2fjuannbdpy3337ggthpp/bafkreicu4oyzn22yimj6ie46jwh3o7nvjea4wdrpwugl6hb5m5vpe7pcqi)

The tech bros gave us crypto currency that isn’t currency, artificial intelligence that isn’t intelligence, and prediction markets that are inside-trader scams. On the other hand, they have given us gigantic data centers that employ no one and destroy communities. So there’s that.
